Human Factors Assessment of the UH-60M Common Avionics Architecture System (CAAS) Crew Station During the Limited User Evaluation (LEUE).

Book Description
The UH-60M Product Office requested the U.S. Army Research Laboratory's (ARL's) Human Research and Engineering Directorate to participate in the Limited Early User Evaluation (LEUE) of the Common Avionics Architecture System (CAAS) cockpit. ARL conducted a human factors evaluation (HFE) during the LEUE, which assessed workload, situation awareness, simulator sickness, pilot-vehicle interface (PVI), and eye tracker data. The data were used to identify characteristics of the CAAS cockpit that enhance or degrade pilot performance. Characteristics that degrade pilot performance should be considered for design changes at the earliest opportunity. Three utility helicopter (UH)-60 crews (six pilots) each conducted three mission scenarios for a total of nine flights. The three missions consisted of flights in visual meteorological conditions (VMC), instrumented meteorological conditions (IMC), and tactical conditions. The pilots completed the simulator sickness questionnaire before and after each flight. They completed the Bedford Workload Rating Scale, Situation Awareness (SA) Rating Technique, and the PVI Questionnaire after each mission. In addition to pilot data, a tactical steering committee (TSC) was used to perform an independent assessment of workload, situation awareness, and mission success. The TSC completed a survey after each mission. The data were analyzed with the use of the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test to compare pilot ratings between seat position and results between instrument flight rule (IFR) and visual flight rule (VFR) flights. The mean workload rating for all tasks was 3.10, indicating that the pilots typically had enough workload capacity for all desirable additional tasks. The mean situation awareness rating provided by the pilots was 25.84. This SA rating indicates that the pilots felt they had moderate levels of situation awareness during the missions.

Book Description
This report presents the results of a human factors and safety evaluation of the Automatic Test and Repair System AN/MSM-105(V)1. The evaluation was part of Operational Test III conducted by the U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Board at Fort Hood, Texas in the Fall of 1982. Numerous human factors and safety problems were identified. The results were used in assessing the operational effectiveness and suitability of the system prior to type classification standard action.

Human Factors Evaluation of the G-MAV Micro-Air-Vehicle

Pages : 66
Book Description
This study was conducted by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory's Human Research and Engineering Directorate in support of the Soldier Battle Lab's (SBL) micro-air vehicle (MAV) Advanced Concept and Technology Demonstration (ACTD). The MAV ACTD was a 4-year program consisting of requirements definition, technology development, integration, demonstrations, and assessments. The primary purpose of the study was to conduct a comprehensive human factors evaluation of the gas-powered version MAV (g-MAV) system. The study was conducted in conjunction with the SBL's military utility assessment (MUA) of the system. Force-on-force operational missions were conducted in order to assess the military utility of the g-MAV system. The operational missions consisted of reconnoitering a built-up area and searching a building, conducting a route reconnaissance, and conducting an area reconnaissance. All missions were executed during the hours of daylight. The human factors engineering evaluation of the g-MAV system was accomplished during the MUA through the use of structured questionnaires, expert observations, Soldier interviews, and after-action reviews. Results demonstrate that when operating properly, the g-MAV system enhanced situational awareness by enabling Soldiers to identify and confirm enemy positions, personnel, and vehicles without exposing themselves to risk. The results also indicated several areas requiring improvement, including system reliability, durability, and operator proficiency. Specific procedures that were problematic for the Soldiers were engine tuning, reconfiguration of radios, pre-flight checks, and avionics pod interchange procedures. Recommendations were made to improve training by expanding the duration of the operator training course and restructuring the training to focus more time on areas where Soldiers demonstrated performance deficiencies.

Book Description
"These Human Factors Bulletins are intended to acquaint engineers with the importance of using physiological, psychological, and related data in the design of aircraft. References are provided so the engineer can learn more thoroughly for himself. The bulletins do not attempt to cover the vast field of human engineering but illustrate the importance of using information already available to improve safety by "engineering for human use". The Bulletins were originated by the Center and have been printed and distributed individually both by the Center and the Flight Safety Foundation."--Introduction
